Salman Khan's upcoming war drama, earlier called Battle of Galwan, has been renamed to Maatrubhoomi. The actor shared a new poster on social media with the new title, accompanied by the hashtag #Maatrubhumi.
The film, directed by Apoorva Lakhia, is based on the Galwan conflict between Indian and Chinese forces in 2020. The title change comes after Chinese state-backed media accused the film of 'distorting facts' and fuelling anti-China sentiment.
The film's teaser, released in December, showed Salman leading his troops in a close combat battle against Chinese forces. The teaser faced criticism for its similarities to a scene from Game of Thrones.
Maatrubhoomi aims to present an unflinching portrayal of courage, sacrifice, and resilience, while balancing the intensity of conflict with the intimacy of love and family.
